Positive uptake of RSV immunisation for newborns with 3,246 infants immunised in the first 4 weeks of the programme. 1 in 2 newborns in Ireland get RSV each winter, with many needing medical care. Immunisation helps protect your baby from RSV infection when levels are highest.

Smoking kills around 4,500 people in Ireland every year and causes an enormous range of preventable illnesses. By raising the minimum age of sale of tobacco products to 21, we can protect young people from starting an addictive and harmful behaviour. See: gov.ie/en/press-relea…
